Hold down the alt key and click on the WiFi icon. Tell me what channel it is using..

Is this a third party router? If so, can you still change the channel it broadcasts?
Next time you get bumped off, i want you to power-cycle the router, then when you enable connection again, let me know if it's still using ch 149.
How far away is the iMac from the router BTW? I guess not too far if it's over ethernet.

Jun 11, 2012 12:22 AM in response to HACKINT0SHby gstahlmd,Well, since I disconnected the ethernet to answer your question the problem has stopped occurring! I had already followed the instructions on Apple Support and deleted all the keychain numbers, to no effect. I'd re-started the router and modem, also useless. But now it's working due to no obvious action on my part. I won't look a gift "fix" in the mouth. So far so good. Thanks for your interest.
